Buckeye Cake

I don't know anyone who doesn't love the chocolate/peanut butter buckeyes. This is just as sweet, but easier to share.

Nestle recipe for Buckeye Cake. I've tried it, and love it. I would make the suggestion that I like it better with my previous chocolate cake recipe (halved) used rather than the one offered though.

Ingredients:

CAKE
•2 large eggs
•1 1/4 cups granulated sugar
•3/4 cup all-purpose flour
•6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
•3 packets (1 oz. each) NESTLÉ® TOLL HOUSE® CHOCO BAKE® Pre-Melted Unsweetened Chocolate Flavor
•1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
•1/8 teaspoon salt
PEANUT BUTTER LAYER
•3/4 cup creamy peanut butter
•1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
•1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
•3/4 cup powdered sugar
GANACHE
•1 cup heavy whipping cream
•2 cups (12-oz. pkg.) NESTLÉ® TOLL HOUSE® Semi-Sweet Chocolate Morsels

•1/3 cup NESTLÉ® TOLL HOUSE® Peanut Butter & Milk Chocolate Morsels

Directions:
PREHEAT oven to 350º F. Grease 9-inch-round cake pan. Line bottom of pan with parchment paper; grease.

FOR THEIR CAKE:
COMBINE eggs and sugar in large bowl. Stir in flour, melted butter, Choco Bake, vanilla extract and salt until smooth. Pour into prepared pan.

BAKE for 25 minutes or until a wooden pick inserted in the middle comes out clean. Cool on wire rack for 5 minutes. Run knife around edge of cake; cool for an additional 10 minutes. Invert cake onto serving platter. Remove pan and parchment; cool completely.

FOR PEANUT BUTTER LAYER:
BEAT peanut butter, butter and vanilla extract in medium mixer bowl until combined. Gradually beat in powdered sugar. Spread mixture on cake. Refrigerate for 30 minutes.

FOR GANACHE:
HEAT cream in small saucepan to boiling; remove from heat. Add semi-sweet morsels; let stand 5 minutes. Stir; refrigerate for 30 minutes or until mixture is spreadable. Spread chocolate on top and sides of cake.

MELT peanut butter & milk chocolate morsels in resealable plastic bag on MEDIUM-HIGH (70%) power for 30 seconds. Knead bag to mix. If necessary, microwave at additional 10- to 15-second intervals until melted. Cut a small hole from corner of bag; squeeze to drizzle over cake. Store in refrigerator. Let stand for 30 minutes before serving.
